Sunday morning, February 6, we will pull out of Ambassador RV Resort (our residence since August, 2010) and head south. Three days later we'll set up 'camp' at Pair-a-Dice RV park in Pahrump, Nevada. Pahrump is on the Nevada/California border, so we will be only 20 miles from Death Valley where we enjoy sightseeing, going to Scotty's Castle and the China Date Farm among other sites.
This Saturday at the meeting of Boise Presbytery I will be received into membership, transferring from Greater Atlanta Presbytery. Presently I'm in limbo between the two.
We will return to Ambassador RV Resort here in the greater Boise area in mid-July, coming back a bit earlier than usual because I'm preaching at Covenant church (Helen's church)the last two Sundays in July, covering for the two pastors who will be away. Then, in the fall, I'm teaching a SS class on the parables, mirroring the pastors' sermon series on the Parables of Jesus.
I've turned down an invitation to serve as the Interim Pastor in a southern Mississippi town and, too, a southern Arizona town. Going to work at an office every day, visiting hospitals, directing a staff, preparing new sermons every week, etc., just doesn't appeal to me...but who knows, maybe later if God prompts me. More importantly, I really enjoy being 'fed' from the pulpit and just being "one of the guys" at church.
I'm really looking forward to playing the Mountain Falls Golf Course in Pahrump, NV. It's a beautiful, manicured course lined by desert sand. I can play there after two p.m. for $25. Otherwise, it's nearly $70!
This morning we woke up to "NO HOT WATER!" Seems one of the pipes is frozen or blocked. I have an electric heater running in the storage bin near the pipes and, as a friend suggested, the furnace is set on 80. Hopefully, the lines will break loose in a couple hours and we'll have hot water again. Plenty of cold water, but I'm hanging for hot water in the shower!
We are hosting some pastor friends and spouses this Wednesday and going out for dinner Thursday evening with good friends here in the park. We'll get together with Anna and the girls before we leave Idaho.
Looking forward to seeing our good friends, Floyd and Rubye, in Nevada in a few days, and likely visiting other friends in Arizona.
We are very blessed...and grateful. Blessings, Larry

The question is, can you pass up your afternoon nap to play golf?
